Lights
Krewella Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Quiet nights feel like a murmur
But we all wanna feel the heartbeat
Silence seeming cold like winter
Till we get our souls we can't breathe

We are waiting for the lights and the thunder
We are waiting as our dreams turn to color
Every second wanting more it's a calm before the storm
We are waiting for the lights and the thunder

This is the only truth we want
Watching the sky for a hint of a spark
Sailing further towards the unknown
Melting down our hearts of stone
Lift our happy hands from the cold
The wind whispers you are never ever alone

Never ever alone

We are waiting for the lights and the thunder
We are waiting as our dreams turn to color
Every second wanting more it's a calm before the storm
We are waiting for the lights and the thunder





We are waiting for the lights and the thunder

Overall Meaning

In "Lights & Thunder," Krewella and Gareth Emery explore the emotional and physical tension that arises when we anticipate something great. The first verse speaks about the hush of the night and the yearning for excitement that prevails within us. Silence can be suffocating and desolate, and it's only when we fully embrace and own our desires that we find our rhythm, our life force.


The chorus captures the feeling of anticipation and the all-encompassing desire for excitement that fuels us. The imagery of colors and light evokes a sense of hope, positivity, and a sense of the magic of the unknown. It's all about holding onto the moment before the storm hits, where we are still gathering strength, still building that inner reserve, still hoping for something breathtaking. The lyrics speak to the yearning that is instinctually human, and the hope that we all possess.


The second verse presents a more uplifting picture, reminding listeners that they are not alone in their venture, no matter how far they go. The song's final section is all about soaring; it is a release, a catharsis, and a celebration of the moment when we finally stumble upon that which we have been seeking.
